Leave as "None" if you do not want to pre-set this field. Setting an Inspector Type will limit the use of the Checklist/Inspection to a single Inspector Type.
16. Set "Minimum" and "Maximum" number times an Inspection is to be done.
- A good example of when a min or max is used is in pouring concrete. On a large job, it will take multiple concrete truck loads with each batch of concrete having to meet certain standards. So, in that case, an ITP might have a minimum of 5 concrete pour inspections and a maximum of 8. However, very often when there are multiple inspections of the same type, the location is different, so it is common to add one inspection for each location and not set a min or max. Locations are often floors of a building or individual items such as utility poles.
17. Add additional information in the "Notes" field. This field is only for informational purposes on the ITP Template screen.
18. You can delete the template by clicking the red "trashcan icon."
- Be careful before deleting a template. You can delete a template even if it is currently associated with a project phase.
19. Click "Save" to save your new Template.
